“When fast gets really fast, being slow to adapt makes education really slow” @aponsv
A deep dive into the data behind the changes we need to see in education 🤓 @OPCouncil#summitonpubliceducation
At yesterdays, @CEIAinc conference, Dave Drewery & Katie Knapp discussed the importance of workplace friendships and their outcomes.
Key takeaway: Encouraging connections between students and employees increases job satisfaction and organizational commitment.
The last keynote of the day is Niigan Sinclair - who is speaking on indigenous presence, practice, pedagogy and permanence. He says “Reconciliation has to live more in the hallways than in the classrooms” 🧡
A stacked panel to discuss the future of education (that’s our jam!) - @DRABC14 asks, what are the three skills we want students to walk away with? The answer: 1. Curiosity (you can’t teach this, help them spark it!) 2. Problem solving! 3. Building friendships (humanity ❤️)
Opening the @OPCouncil Summit on Public Education opens with @YongZhaoEd who tells us “education is never about the test scores” & reminds us that when you’re driven by the wrong education goals, you miss what education is about.
We'd like to thank all of our sponsors for supporting our upcoming 25th Anniversary Gala Dinner and for being part of this amazing milestone!

We can’t thank these thoughtful, brilliant educators enough for sharing their energy, time, and commitment to students with us! @DanikaTipping@MsWMcKinley & @MrPBsMusicClas1 - you are STARS ⭐️
@DanikaTipping from @TVDSB reminds us that sometimes leaning into the chaos (like teaching 4 grades at one time) can truly be where the magic happens 💡
From @wrdsb @MrPBsMusicClas1 takes us through his journey into equity & empathy work. He urges us to look to our disturbances and have the courage to RESPOND! 💡

“How can we expect our students to know anything, if we don’t know our students” @MsWMcKinley from @WCDSBInnovates speaks to our community about experimental learning, innovation in the classroom and how it’s all tied to relationships 💡
